Hope you're having a wonderful adventure (or 'did have' in case you don't read this until you get home). These are soft and pretty little birds and definitely wild even if they are wild as an introduced species. (I'd guess many of the birds I see were originally introduced here).

I will have to look more closely at our Quail..They look the same to me ;).....I'm no expert, for sure..Cute family photo..Enjoy your adventure..I had to move my bird feeders..the squirrels are winning (breaking too many tree and shrub limbs)..So my bird photos will be scarce...I will continue to enjoy yours..

Quail are such cute birds and this family is adorable. It is hard to look at though because we feed frozen quail to our big birds and I don't like to think of them as they really are :( So I saw you were off to an adventure standing on Mocton Street ... must be nice. Either you are more famous than you realized or you have a famous distand relative. Very cute picture of all of you :) My adventure is flooding ... we had 6 inches of rain in two hours and all the roads are flooded out here ... so I am stuck at home. Climate change is effecting us all even thpough it doesn't really exist ... hmmmmm. Make any sense to you? Enjoy your adventure, Stewart .

Hello Stewart!:) Super looking rounded birds. Their plumage is quite distinct, and beautiful. Lucky you to have encountered a Quail with her chicks. I have yet to see one. Be safe, keep putting your sun cream on!:)
